Problem with search using custom fields

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a custom field at item level in all documents -> SC,PO,CONF,INV. I have made this field searchable in these documents as per related OSS notes.

The search functionality is working differently in following cases.

When the "Confirmation-Related Invoice Verification" flag is <b>checked</b> in PO ->

when I try to create an invoice for this PO, system doesnot return the document in Extended search for PO. I verified the confirmation has been done and posted in backend succesfully.

When the "Confirmation-Related Invoice Verification" flag is <b>unchecked</b> in PO ->

System returns correct document in extended search for PO.

I am using SRM 5.0 ECS.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the reply.

The notes you mentioned are related to Confimation based IV flag, but is not useful in this case.

This relates to searching based on a custom field value. I am seeing system acting differently in both cases.

When debugged, I see the system tries to look for "open invoice items" .

The document is then removed at that instance from the search result in the program. Eventhough the confirmation is posted successfully, why is it treating as "not open for invoicing"?

The program LBBP_PDF52 is where I checked.

Hi

What exactly you mean by "not open for invoicing" ? Is is in R/3 or SRM side ?

Have you implemented the BBP_WF_LIST BADI in SRM ?

How are you debugging the scenario ? Please give steps.

<u>Also see the following SAP OSS Notes -></u>

Note 677852 - Automatic posting of confirmatns for Backend purchase orders

Note 684375 - Posting confirmations and invoices by item

Note 530651 - Too many purchase orders in the search list

Note 675757 - Indicator for automatic processing is set incorrectly

Do let me know.
